What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests a software platform called Nest that helps young adults (ages 18-49) with inherited cancer risks manage their care. Participants will use the tool to track screening and share information with doctors and family. Researchers will compare users to non-users to see if the tool improves knowledge, reduces distress, and boosts follow-through on recommended cancer screenings.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Nest software platform (electronic medical record-integrated tool for genetics-based care)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could help young adults with inherited cancer risks stay on top of recommended screenings and feel less anxious about their health.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial (100 people) testing a software tool, not a treatment. It may not show clear benefits or work outside the specific hospital setting.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

100 people

The number who actually took part.

Started

Feb 2026

Expected to finish

Sep 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

A company

The lead sponsor is a pharmaceutical, biotech, or medical-device company.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 to 49 years

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Ages 18-49 years, inclusive * previous cancer genetic testing with a finding of a pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant resulting in an increased risk of cancer warranting clinical management. * English-speaking and -reading * Receiving care at Dana Farber Cancer Institute * Not in active cancer therapy at the time of approach Exclusion Criteria: * Age \<18 or \>49 years * Has not had genetic testing for hereditary cancer syndromes or has been tested but no pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant was identified. * Non-English speaking and reading * Not receiving care at Dana Farber Cancer Institute * Active cancer with therapy in progress
